Young man visits New York.

This young man from out west was visiting New York on his vacation. He was beginning to learn that some of the New Yorkers were a bit brusque.

One day, as he was walking down one of the avenues. He stopped a man walking toward him and said, “Excuse me sir, but I’m from out of town and visiting New York for the first time. I am a bit lost and wondered if you would be kind enough to direct me to the Empire State Building. Or should I just go #@^% myself?”

George and his wife, Marie, sailed professionally, chartering boats in the Bahamas, then in the Virgin Islands. They then leased an uninhabited island, Little Thatch, in the British Virgin Islands, and turned it into a small hotel. After six years, they left the island and bought a lovely beachfront property on Jost Van Dyke (BVI)
where they built Sandcastle Hotel and the original Soggy Dollar Bar.
George is now the author of Incredible Virgin Island Adventure: A True Story.
